Bucket Full of Rain

Spoken Intro

Now folks I wanna tell you somethin

Bout a little place I rented by the sea

Said ocean view and paradise online

Well let me tell you what it turned out to be

Verse 1

I booked a weekend down in Brela

Signed a paper paid in full

Brochure showed a golden sunrise

Brochure showed a swimming pool

What I got was one cracked window

One bucket sitting on the tile

Raindrops drumming in that plastic

Sounded like the cheap hotel

The landlord smiled and called it rustic

I called it forty euros down the drain

He said the bucket was a feature

I said the bucket was the rain

Chorus

It's a bucket full of rain

Falling through the roof again

Bucket full of rain

Paradise was all a lie

Bucket full of rain

Paddle out and wave goodbye

A bucket and a whole lotta rain

Verse 2

The ad said steps down to the water

The ad said moonlight on the bay

What I found was forty stairs

And a donkey in my way

The sea was there I'll give him credit

Nine feet wide and mostly foam

A German couple claimed the shoreline

So I floated back on home

He charged me for the view

Then he charged me for the breeze

Then he charged me for the bucket

That was catching all the seas

Chorus

It's a bucket full of rain

Dripping on my holiday

Bucket full of rain

Every drop a small betrayal

Bucket full of rain

Wet socks and a bedtime tale

A bucket and a whole lotta rain

Bridge

Now I ain't one to fuss or fume

I just sat there in that gloom

Watching water find its way

From the ceiling to my room

Drip drip drip

Went the little metal pail

Drip drip drip

Like a tiny tinny jail

I sang to it politely

Then I sang a bit less well

Chorus

It's a bucket full of rain

Angels crying on my head

Bucket full of rain

Should have stayed in bed instead

Bucket full of rain

I paid to sleep beside a leak

A bucket and a whole lotta rain

Spoken Outro

So if you see a listing

With a bucket in the frame

Do yourself a favor friend

Just stay right home and blame the rain

Just blame the rain

Blame the rain
